As many vids I've seen over the years I just don't get why or the purpose of damascus. It is just a design with really no practical use since these blades aren't being folded over and over to give it strength. Just a bunch of bits of metal turned this way and that way into some kind of crucible then mostly formed with a power hammer. It is almost like using ai to make a blade. No swinging hammers the old fashion way.

Beautiful blade. Curious if you pin handles? I usually do but I’ve never had one come loose when I don’t, I just hear about it or see it on tv.

Hey ... @ 11:34 when you score a center line (I don't know if that's the name for it, but I hope you know what I mean) it looks totally angled and wrong.... IDK if it's the camera angle or something but on the right side it starts off HIGHER then where it ends on the left side.... Like the left side looks liek the correct CENTER, but the right side looks WAY YOO HIGH..... maybe it's just me 🤷♂
@JPsBladeworksASMRКүн бұрын
Itd the angle and the wood its self isnt square to the rest of the knife. A little deviation can make the wood angle a lot tip to end. Thats why i it looks to be at an angle. So i do the center line based off the knife then i space my handle taper based on that center line.
@Nobe_OddyКүн бұрын
So I've seen you use WD-40 in place of Borax... is it any cheaper to use WD-40? I know it's easier..... much MUCH EASIER.... nut how do the costs compare AND how do the results compare too?
@JPsBladeworksASMRКүн бұрын
Not sure the cost comparison. Its pretty much the same. I can get both relatively cheap. All i know is i can sprinkle borax on hot metal. Cant say the same about wd40. I mean i can but it wouldnt be smart 😅
@Nobe_OddyКүн бұрын
That came out GREAT! That handle was EMMACULATE!!! But I'm sorry to say but it's on the wrong blade..... not that it looks bad!!! not at all... it's just got so many lines, so many STRAIGHT lines that it should be on a blade with a ton of repeating straight lines.... but hey, that might actually look bad with having TOO MANY lines... you just never know until that dip... You did an EXCELLENT JOB! and I would be HONORED to own ANY blade made by you, seriously. I know this is you ASMR chan, but I would listen to your advice on bladesmithing with NO QUESTIONS.... (although, I would, just like now, state my opinions... but not to correct you, but just to get your opinion too.... OKAY, on to today's ASMR vid and then I'm off :)

What if, when you are stamping your Makers Mark on to the blade while its hot and you're just about to press it in you put a thin piece of copper sheet between the hot blade and the die..??? Maybe while its being pressed down are you able to hold there, pressed into the blade and holding the copper into that indentation and then you use pliers to rip off the excess copper so as it's being held down tight with the press your rip off everything that that isn't inside the mark.... I guess the copper would have to be pretty thin to be able to do that... and the blade would have to be really hot to weaken it enough to rip it.... MAYBE you'd have to HEAT the DIE TOO :/ ... 🤔 hrmmmm .... yea if you had both the knife and the die hot enough it would melt the copper and you'd be able to pull the excess right off.... But copper can be melted with a torch pretty easily.... so even if you don't rip off that excess.... and the copper doesn't melt or stick to the knife, you'd have the imprint in both the copper and knife PEFECTLY MATCHED..... so then you9 could just let the copper cool down.... and the knife too.... and with the copper being thin enough you could just cut it with sharp scissors and make some pieces that fit into the imprint on the knife.... then you could place those pieces in there and THEN you melt them with the torch, while they are in that indented mark... do- you think it would stick?

Love the blade love the handle but you needed mechanical device to hold handle to the blade the epoxy will break down or crack if you use it for chopping it makes the handle you need at least two pins or 1 pin just for a little extra security

I like your videos, but I hope you're not doing ASMR just because a few people complained about you talking too much (not true). Most of us like when makers talk their way through the process, and even the mistakes and remedies along the way.

Nah this is a second channel. The main channel with stay commentary but i think that making this channel be asmr can reach a larger audience around the world that doesnt speak english and doesnt want to hear a language they dont understand. Many channels are like this and are pretty successful so why not give it a try. My main focus will be the commentary channel though.
